I am more inclined to believe his backpack and computer saved him from a stray bullet rather than an aimed shot intended to take his life.
No matter how you slice it, a bunch of heavy garments and plenty of luggage between you and flying bullets can't hurt.
Good for him and glad to learn he survived the murderous terrorist attack.

The man is VERY fortunate that he had an Apple laptop instead of a PC laptop; otherwise he would, with near certainty, have been yet another wounded or dead victim.

Just kidding folks!

I had a strong urging to buy concealable body armor a couple days before this event, searched for any alternative setup that would suffice, be practical and not obvious.

Problem is what would TSA do if you went through security with it on? Even if it was the latest such as Dragonskin?

I still have options of buying outerwear such as a leather jacket that has some spectra or kevlar built in, gives some protection, like a level 1. I can travel with a motorcycle jacket thats designed to have elbow and shoulder protection, even back plastic plates.

Now that i’m thinking about this i do have kevlar scraps, spectra high test fishing line and urethane bed coating material, might just upgrade my riding jacket for that “just in case” moment, and avoid getting shot in the head. Situation awareness, all the time now.

I’ve heard several stories of Apple products stopping bullets, but not any competing products...

Recently I tried to destroy a hard drive with a hammer.
Amazing how tough they are, The type with a spinning disc.
The case was tough and the disc itself was really tough.
Best I could do is dent it.

I can see a hard drive stopping a soft / hollow point.
